Gathering
Meeting, Group, Party
noun, suffix
This is the noun version of the kanji meet, and it means a gathering or a meeting, as you’d expect! It isn’t really used for the kind of meeting you have at an office, though. It’s more in the sense of a people coming together for a specific purpose, like volunteer group, or a birthday party.
This has the same reading as the kanji you learned, meaning you know the reading!
